[citation needed] The route began at PTH 83 north of Durban, and met PR 486 just south of the village.

Near Alpine, the road curves towards the west and meets PTH 83 again.

The route was mostly gravel, with a very small paved portion from PTH 83 to PR 486 near Durban.

[1] In the early 1990s, the Manitoba government decommissioned a number of provincial secondary roads and returned the maintenance of these roads back to the rural municipalities; PR 586 was one of these routes and is now a municipal road.

The rest of the route still sees a moderate amount of traffic and is wider than most municipal roads.
